    I'd love to see a little language which compiles to _readable_ bash. Could it be so hard? There's a dead project that comes up now and then called bish.

    Oh people have tried - here are a few https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10239235/are-there-any-l...

    I vaguely remember quite liking bish when I saw it years ago https://github.com/tdenniston/bish but it looks like no commits in 6 years.

    This shelljs thing looks more promising, but really tedious to use https://github.com/shelljs/shelljs - shell.rm('-rf', 'out/Release'); I'd rather suffer proper bash than have to do that sort of thing.

    Nothing seems to have really caught on so far. Bash is easy to learn and hack on, and before you know it, that simple install.sh that started out moving a few files around is 5000 lines, unmaintainable, and critical to bootstrapping your software :)

    Do you have any specific examples to cite? The snippets are meant to be run in POSIX-compliant shells like dash/yash/ash/etc, not just Bash in compatibility mode.

    In fact, there used to be a section which listed workarounds[1] for bugs in dash, but they have since been fixed[2]. If you are still using an old version of dash, you may need to use them.

    Personally, I would steer clear of a script that installs dependencies on it's own. Us sysadmins prefer to manage our own dependencies, generally speaking. Instead consider a README that outlines how to meet/install dependencies for the script, or try to find ways to write your script in pure Shell or Bash without using tools like awk, jq, etc. Consider having a look at the Pure Sh Bible for examples of how to do many useful things in pure Sh.

    There is the "pure bash bible" but it seems less than maintained these days: https://github.com/dylanaraps/pure-sh-bible
